And Now, A Scary Lie From An Un-American Evilmonger

by Dave Price on August 15, 2009

Jonah Goldberg sums up the contradictions of Obamacare beautifully:

-------
Imagine you’re in charge of bringing pie to a company picnic. You’re planning to provide dessert for 100 people. Then, your boss says you need to hand out pie to 150. Fine, you say, I’ll make more pies. But — oh no! — you can’t because you’ve also been told costs must go down. OK, then you can cut slices of the existing pies smaller so everyone can have a piece. Wait! You can’t do that either because you’re not allowed to ration (i.e., give less to more).

According to Obama, the health-care pie will be sliced into more pieces, of equal or greater size than available now, for less money — all because government is so much better than the private sector at managing large projects.
-------

Blatant “all things to all people” dishonesty worked wonders for Obama as a candidate, so it’s not surprising he’s continued it as President. But he’s finding out that while promising people magical healthcare unicorns is easy enough, actually producing them is a bit more challenging.

That’s probably why more than half the country would rather see no healthcare reform bill passed, while only a bit more than a third support the current bill.
